1. Yadlin really thinks we're stupid:you want to fix the flaws?
(01.21.17)
Scrap the treacherous deal. Not much strategic thinking needed here....
2. Iran deal cannot be fixed
C   (01.22.17)
1 all sanctions on iran have already been lifted.
billions of dollars have been handed over by
the obama regime.
all entities and individuals who were ever sanctioned
had sanctioned lifted from them, without exception.
2 iran retains the right to enrich uranium.
3 iran retains the right to keep the underground fordo
enrichment facility.
4 iran retains the right to conduct r&d on advanced centrifuges.
5 iran retains the right to do research on weaponisation.
6 iran retains the right to do r&d on implosion devices.
7 iran can refuse inspections on its parchin military site.
8 iran can demand advance notice of any and all inspections.
9 iran can refuse to allow american inspectors any time.

the verification regimes of the iran deal are practically non-existent.

it is not verifiable that the breakout point has been pushed back
for a year.
even if it were so, iran can manufacture advanced centrifuges
which once installed, would reduce breakout time.
iran has not stopped r&d on ballistic missiles, including
those that can house a nuclear weapon.
3. excellent analysis, and very sage suggestions...
Rafi   (01.22.17)
But when has Netanyahu & his right-wing nut colleagues ever placed Israel's strategic planning recommendations ahead of their own narrow political interests?

If they had, you would not have the problematic Iran deal that you have today.

BTW, Gen Yadlin could have also included the billions of sanction $'s already released to Iran as another problematic part of the deal...
4. No deal will stop Iran's Mullahs from building nukes
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.24.17)
Iran has invested billions of dollars in building nuclear bombs. It has built its bomb factories near mountains to make them hard to destroy. Iran believes it has the world to gain by building nukes. No deal with stop the Mullahs from building nukes. Only direct military and/or cyber attacks can.
